Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.

Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.

However, Little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him……

It was the new teacher!

The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.

Everyone tends have many problems while gaining knowledge. Therefore, your willingness to deal with these problems will eventually enable you to work it out. What I’d like to share are my approaches to solve the problems.

First, you must focus on which you are faced with. There seemed to be a lot of attractive things, like computers or games. To stay focused, you can list things and tell yourself you should touch them after finishing your work. Second, believe to yourself. Though there is no doubt that each of us might make mistakes or come across some tough problems in learning, but it can never be a reason for the lose of confidence.

Last but not least, keep modestly. Never feel embarrassed to turn to your teachers or classmates. Everyone in your surroundings can be your teacher.

I am looking at an old friend of mine.

He has been one of my best【1】(friend )for almost 12 years. He has blessed my life with his loyalty, kindness, 【2】(wise) and love since the day when I first met him. 【3】doesn't matter to me that he has four legs instead of two, fur instead of clothes, and barks at me instead of talking to me.

As I watch my friend sleeping【4】the sun, I can't help【5】(think) of all the goodness he has brought into my life. He has been with me every day through good and bad times. He has always been my protector. He has always reminded me that I am loved and showed me how 【6】(love)others at the same time.

My friend has aged far 【7】(quickly)than me and had more and more health problems over the years. I am not sure how long we will be together before he 【8】(pass)away from this world.

This 【9】(wonder)dog has helped me understand that you don't have to be perfect to be loved and【10】poor health and old age might affect the body but they don't have to decrease the spirit.

Pinyin is a successful tool, which 【1】 (teach) in China to school kids. It is not merely used by westerners like us. It has proved to be a useful tool for Chinese people 【2】 (they) to learn standard pronunciation in their early education.

The first step is to learn how 【3】 (pronounce) each letter in pinyin correctly and the meaning of the tone markers. Then you have to do 【4】 (drill) as many as you can. Turn that into a game. It can be 【5】 (much) fun than you would expect. Start 【6】 single syllables and do that a lot and then syllable pairs. Slowly move on to larger groups. Understand the initial, final and the tones.

But most importantly, 【7】 you need is good feedback. You’d better have someone that can correct your mistakes immediately.

Find a native Chinese, 【8】 can listen to you and correct you. If you take Chinese classes, the teacher will 【9】 (probable) have you do drills every class. Do this very seriously.

If you are self-studying, try to meet native Chinese people and ask them to give you some feedback. Otherwise, try to be self-critical and listen very carefully. Good 【10】 (listen) is more than 50% of what it takes to pronounce correctly.
